Are people underestimating Gunter ?
Even with his limitations, wasn't he our most reliable cover ?
One would hope that Randall and Rollins take steps forward, but if you are careful with the assignments, I gotta think Gunter is in the mix

Gunter is limited due to his lack of speed. He's fine as a #5 or so corner, but will never be a guy you want to have to rely on outside.

A little harsh IMO. #5 ?
Gunter ran a 4.7
House ran a 4.5 6 years ago

House also ran a 4.37 at his Pro Day and pretty clearly plays in the mid-4.4s.

Gunter (at best) plays in the mid 4.6s and it shows.

He's fine, I don't dislike Gunter, but I doubt he will be here beyond the 2017 season. We'll see.

Gunter is a fine depth corner. We have better players available to us now so we don't need him to start, but if House sprained an ankle and Gunter had to start 2 weeks, I wouldn't be too concerned. He's like the Lane Taylor of the defense. You give him some help and you can get through games with him without issue._________________

11 interceptions and 2 touchdown returns in their combined rookie years, too.

To be fair, we don't know if Capers had his whole playbook available with the rookies or not. The young guys played a lot of snaps, but we don't know what was called or if the calls were limited by their new-ness in the system.

This. He's not a bad #4 CB, he's just not a #1 corner as he proved in the playoffs. His roster spot isn't in jeopardy IMO._________________
